No sean I didnt, when hubby returned home we sat in the garden and listened to music. I did ask but he looked a little fragile lol... I am determined to come to the next one, with or without him, though I did get a little toasted on Friday after my early afternoon wine tasting session hehe... Did you have a good evening?
On a different subject does anyone remember Neil Toibin? We used to spend many a time on our visits home listening to a couple of LP's my Dad had of performances of his. He was/is a great story teller/comic. Where can I buy anything of his? Anyone know? Does anyone remember the one about Noah's Ark and the Americans?

I've put a thread in the For Sale Section for an epic book of 3 volumes my brother wrote called The History of Irish Tennis. It's likely to appeal to people brought up anywhere in Ireland who had an interest in tennis. As threads seem to sink in that section rapidly I'm posting here. There a link to the website if you are interested.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
